Let’s be honest, it’s looking pretty grim for England in the World Cup this year.

However there are still plenty of other things people can get competitive about besides football.

The Wall Street Journal have created a graphic pitting the countries who qualified for the 2014 Football World Cup against one another in different arenas.

England might get beaten by Costa Rica in the group stages, but who cares, because they get the most rainfall out of all the countries competing.

Hopefully the Belgium team have been getting enough fresh air, as the chart shows Belgium to have the biggest urban population.

Predictably, the U.S. has by far the highest amount of McDonald’s branches per person.

Keep an eye out for some #GoMexico! hashtags, because Mexico has the highest number of Twitter users per capita.

Whatever the final score, Costa Rica can hold their head high when it comes to equality among the sexes. They have the highest number of females in government out of the competing countries, with 39 per cent of parliament seats in the country currently held by women.

Russia proves that even if they can’t field the best team, they will definitely be able to drown their sorrows better than their competitors.

The graphic shows Russia to be the biggest consumers of alcohol in the competition, with each person drinking an average of 15.1 litres of alcohol a year.
